Hello again,
Having decided that a Cannondale RT 1000 is the bike to go for, I am now trying to find out if the Burley child stoker kit would fit this bike? I don't know the Cannondale seat post diameter or the CBD of the crankset. If it will not fit, does anyone know of any alternatives (to accomodate one of my daughters aged 6 and 8).

Thanks.
Best regards,
Eddie.
P.S. Mark, sorry I didn't notice your first name at the bottom of your reply to my previous post and I didn't realise Livingood was your surname, otherwise I would have written "Mr" Livingood! (I just visited your web site so am now less ignorant).

Note: Web sites with frames and Java script are a PIA.

The link provided by Bentbaggerlen will take you to the first page of Tandem East's parts catalog, from there you'll need to click on "Stoker and Family Items" in the menu at the left side of the screen. Once you arrive at the page that starts off with the "Stoker Computer Hardware" item near the top you'll need to scroll down to the bottom of the page where you'll find "Kid Back Conversions". The Cannondale would use the 1 1/4" model from Burley. Mel Kornbluh owns and answers Email for Tandems East (Email: TandemWiz@aol.com) and he would be able to confirm / answer your questions regarding the kid-back compatibility with the '04 Cannondales as he also is a Cannondale tandem dealer.

No worries on the name thing... Call me anything, just don't call me late to dinner.
